Ginetta G33
I bought mine for £5500 and sold it 4 years later for £16000 to a German. Another 4 years on and there I'd one for sale I'm the Netherlands for 40000 euros.
I have only seen one got sale since I sold mine.
TVR Tuscan. Sold mine for £16000 reckon nearer to £20000 now

Probably too many to list but the two biggest are a BMW Z8 one of the very last 03 52 7,000 miles sold for £55K.....! Now £120K.....! and a Porsche 911 Turbo LE 89 G 13,000 sold for £32K.....! Now £100K......! but we can all look back..... And I was happy at the time,the Z8 gave me a little profit..... Anyway i'v got three BMW's tucked away now which I don't intend to sell, a 840 Sport individual,a Z3 M Coupe,and a M3 Evo Convertible all low mileage and ALL Dakar Yellow......!

Small fry, but my MR2 Turbo was, IIRC £2750 or so when I bought it and sold it for £2500 or so. The condition it was in was good, and would be worth around £4000 or so now I think.
Blimey. Just checked the prices of them. They were rock bottom at one point but are climbing up a fair bit now.swisstoni said:
There must be some tears from a few ex-911 owners given what some are going for at the moment. Ditto 2-door Rangies.
I kick myself every day for passing up a beautiful '84 911 Carrera. This was about 2 years ago, I had the chance to pick it up for $15k US, it would have easily appreciated in value since then, instead I bought a 2002 Boxster S that depreciated like mad in the year I owned it.My dad scrapped a Ford Capri in 2000 (approx £60?) as it had sat in the garden behind the garage for 10 years. Nothing wrong with it, as grandad emigrated and gave it to my dad who didn't want it - but didn't want to upset him as it was his pride and joy. Just needed all fluids and filters changing and would of been fine I reckon.
Looking at the prices now on eBay, I'm glad he doesn't use the internet.

Biggest regret in my motoring life, selling an BMW E30 M3 in 2002 for not very much money.
Came very close to buying one 8-9yrs ago for £8500, possibly a bad decision Sold my mint Mk2 Escort 7yrs ago for £1100, was an estate but still be worth much more now I would think. The young lad that bought it rolled it & wrote it off I found out recently
